When I started Lamictal I was so sleepy I could hardly keep my eyes open; it wasn't even safe to drive. It was a temporary thing thank goodness. I don't know how long you've been on 50mg twice a day, but titrating up probably will make you more sleepy for a short time, but it should go away as your body adjusts.
